Resourcing Manager

THIS JOB HAS NOW CLOSED

The opportunity

We are just over halfway through 2023. How time flies! Speaking of flying, whilst we aren’t seeking a pilot, we are looking for a highflyer who is versed in resourcing. Resourcing involves the attraction and recruitment of individuals into the right role at the right time and cost. With that said, resourcing is so much more than that though.

Our Resourcing Teams are at the forefront of our talent attraction and recruitment efforts to recruit our permanent, fixed term and hourly paid staff across our 3 main job families: academic, technical, administrative & professional. We are currently on a journey focused on transforming our service to better suit the needs of the university.

We would love to invite you to join us as a Resourcing Manager to help us achieve this aim and help our service continue to bring great people together under one roof. If you are successful, you will initially manage two college-based Resourcing Teams.

Does this sound interesting but not sure if you should apply? Does this advert leave you with more questions than answers? Are you a real candidate and not a recruitment consultant/from an agency?

Feel free to get in touch with Mark Kunaseelan (Head of Resourcing) via m.kunaseelan@arts.ac.uk
